While the holiday season has come to a close for many, the small town of Cabot, Vermont, is keeping the spirit alive through its 5th annual 12th Night Celebration, a tradition that brings the community together to mark the end of the holiday season in a unique way.Dana Robinson, the Executive Director of Cabot Arts, explained the charm behind this delayed celebration.“It’s a whole full day of just a lot of fun,” Robinson said. “Cabot waits just a few days longer and has 12th Night instead of celebrating New Year’s Eve like most other places.”The celebration includes a variety of activities designed for people of all ages. The day kicks off with family-friendly events, followed by arts and crafts workshops in the afternoon. As evening sets in, the festivities transition into outdoor bonfires, hot cocoa, and community games.“It’s a multigenerational thing,” Robinson added. “The kids bring their parents, and you get a sense that kids are growing up and coming back. It’s just become a tradition for this place.”The 12th Night celebration is not just an opportunity to extend the holiday cheer, but also a time for locals to come together, share in the warmth of their community, and celebrate the season just a little longer.For many, the event has become more than just a celebration; it’s a chance to reconnect with family, friends, and the town’s history.Robinson hopes that Cabot’s 12th Night will continue to be a cherished tradition for years to come.The event has proven to be a success in keeping the holiday spirit alive well into the new year, offering a moment of joy and togetherness as the community looks ahead to the year ahead.
